The alpine setting is rightfully a bond classic, with bobsled chases, helicopter commando raids, and chic ski-lodge lairs. Love it.
Also interesting they experimented with giving bond a bit more backstory and the idea that he might have some sort of life outside MI6 service. Funny bond basically marries into the Corsican version of the Corleone family.
